33 rejects, 5088 valids on a Buffalo, NY server
29 rejects, 2433 valids on a Las Vegas, NV server
24 rejects, 1773 valids on a Las Vegas, NV server
0 rejects, 158 valids on a Scranton, PA server
2 rejects, 144 valids on a Dallas, TX server
1 reject, 74 valids on a Houston, TX server
42 rejects, 1745 valids on a Germany server

Now it's

92 rejects, 10377 valids on Buffalo, NY server (8 cores)
57 rejects, 5090 valids on Las Vegas, NV server (8 cores)
60 rejects, 4352 valids on Las Vegas, NV server (8 cores)
7 rejects, 1070 valids on Scranton, PA server (*8 cores) --  ed: it just seems like 4 cores.  gimp Xeon =(
10 rejects, 1128 valids on Dallas, TX server (4 cores)
5 rejects, 448 valids on Houston, TX server (varies)
69 rejects, 4053 valids on Germany server, (7 cores)
18 rejects, 1494 valids on Lenoir, NC server (8 cores)

these are all using the latest git pull, diff versions of ubuntu,  about half on 12.04 and the other half on 13.10

they're also all using the 1024mb memory option

oh, jfyi, that Dallas server is from burst.net...  any new customer can get a server for a month for $1 from them, w/ no strings attached (besides having to remember to cancel it in time)

Registered just to report this same issue, large percentage of rejected shares in the last day or two:

Home systems (crashing/rebooting often so the counts are reset often):
4 cores - VL: 255 - RJ: 101
4 cores - VL: 216 - RJ: 48

Hosted server:
8 cores - VL: 29313 - RJ: 3383

can you two post the # of threads you're using on your servers??

@orphans:
the orphan streak was caused by the stuck protoshares backend like i said before
but the last one is just bad luck, just like Troglodactyl (thank you) said, it's not possible to prevent this completely
on the other hand, if a pool is big enough it could intentionally try to 'orphan' blocks by other pools/users <-- just saying, in theory

- xolokram

2x running 2 threads default memory usage. 1x running 8 threads default memory usage. And 1x using 2 threads with memory option 28.

re: the 3rd one, I don't think it's done intentionally, but, yeah, there's a... uh... slow quark pool that controls about 80-85% of the hashrate and orphans some godawful number of blocks

germany is 7 cores, dallas is 4 cores, houston is 4 cores, the rest are 8 cores

i have some machines running 2 cores here on my home connection that are ~97% valid

ed: in my protoshares log, there's only 1 orphan in the last 6 hour or so and no reorganizations

More orphans. What causes these?

yes what does this mean 0 PTS / 0 PTS -> ORPHAN :(

TIA

That means we mined that block, but someone else mined a block as a child to the same parent as ours close to the same time, and the network accepted the other child and thus rejected ours.  Since our block didn't make it into the final chain, we get nothing for it.

or it could be indicative of protoshares client not connected to enough and/or the right peers, or another situation would be a lack of bandwidth and connected to too many peers.  in that case, it'd try to send to them all at once and they'd all get it slow.

I received block 28005 and 28039 from a peer in Germany, despite the pool being in New Jersey (and having over 100 connections in protoshare client).  I imagine it doesn't have very good connectivity (or not enough peers), or maybe it funnels everything through that Hetzner machine (which wouldnt be so hot with the +120-140ms).
